"ABSOLUTELY HALLOWEEN is ABSOLUTELY GREAT!" raves showmag.com. "An absolute family treat!" exclaims The Tolucan Times. It's the classic Family Theatre Halloween musical for Kids 2 to 102 - On-Demand so you can watch it right in your own living room, kitchen, den - wherever and whenever you like. It's the heartwarming Rudie-DeCarlo tale of the aptly-named Candy, a sweet young girl who learns some surprising lessons about life, love, laughter, and sugar, from a delightful array of characters who take her on a magical All Hallow's Eve adventure. Help Cattypuss, Patty Patches, Stuffy Steve, Lester the Jester and Fifika the French Fortune Teller happily save Halloween for one more year.

ABSOLUTELY HALLOWEEN is one in a series of original Rudie-DeCarlo fairy tale musical comedies that make up the award-winning Family Theatre Musical Matinee Series for Kids 2 to 102 now celebrating its 51st year as it cuts across the imaginary generation gap by providing an experience the entire family can enjoy.

Helmed by Graham Silbert from Chris DeCarlo's original direction, with book, music & lyrics by DeCarlo, Evelyn Rudie & Matthew Wrather, ABSOLUTELY HALLOWEEN features Celeste Akiki, Tiffany Haile, Sarai Jimenez, Mei Tam, Rodney Walker, with special guest Cate Johannessen from the UK and Silbert as everybody's favorite feline Cattypuss. The ingenious costumes are created by Silbert and award-winning designer Ashley Hayes, with production and graphic design by The Attic Room. What's the one holiday show you absolutely cannot miss? ABSOLUTELY HALLOWEEN of course! October 1-31 only!

Santa Monica Playhouse is supported in part by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, the Ahmanson Foundation, the Rotary Club Foundation, and Playhouse PALS.
